Hey there,
I hope you had a great weekend.
Back to the grind tomorrow. If you have deviated from your normal workout & nutrition intake, you must get back on the horse tomorrow-Fat Loss Tip #12.
Check out my plan below….
****************************************************
Tomorrow (9 PST) is the last day to get a discounted TRX for your personal use. I have never seen a 25% off sale on the TRX, so go here and grab one from my partners at TRX:TRX SALE *Use Code TRXTRAIN for the TRX Pro Kit
This total body exercise device is a must have for anyone looking to improve strength, balance, endurance, core strength, posture and lose body fat. We use it in all boot camps and we have a special TRX class offered in the evenings. Save your money on a gym membership and workout at home, the park and travel with it.

Now that you have committed to getting back on the horse tomorrow, we need a strategy to reduce your carbohydrate/ sugar cravings and to improve energy. It is tough to stay committed when you are constantly craving sugar and having highs and lows throughout the day. Fat Loss Tip #14- Avoid High Glycemic Carbohydrates For 5 Days to reduce sugar cravings and optimize fat burning hormones.
Here is a list of high glycemic carbohydrates to avoid:
- Alcohol
- Carrots
- Squash
- Beets
- Potatoes
- Pineapple
- Grapes/Raisins
- Bananas
- Watermelon
- Dates
- Candy
- Juices
- Sodas
- All Grains (breads, cereals, pastas, etc.)
Consume all other fruits, veggies and legumes for carbohydrates, animal proteins and good fats like nuts, seeds, coconut products, oils and olives.
We are breaking bad habits and creating healthy new ones. The first 3-5 days can be the hardest. From my experience in the last 21 years, it only takes that long for you to lose your unhealthy sugar and carbohydrate cravings. Really, only 3-5 days when you are eating the right amount of carbohydrates (carbs) or sugar that your body can utilize.
The magic question for all of us is….How many carbs can I handle at each meal and each day-Fat Loss Tip #2
Plan of Attack For Tonight, Tomorrow and The Next 5 Days:
- Prepare a moderate to high protein breakfast for tomorrow, preferably after a workout like one of my boot camps. See here for meal ideas: Breakfast
- Continue to eat every 2-4 hours until you go to sleep and avoid starch carbohydrates, especially in the later meals. A late night snack could be a tablespoon of almond butter or sunflower butter, a piece of raw cheese, 3oz of chicken, an egg, a protein shake (low sugar fruit only), or some organic whole fat plain yogurt.
- Avoid the high glycemic foods above.
- Consume a protein & fat in each meal.
- Consume at least 8 glasses of water each day.
- Go to bed by 10 pm.
Have a great 5 days and please share your experience.
